 ApsaraDB RDS is a cloud-based relational database service that provides secure, cost-effective, and scalable database solutions for various applications. RDS has many advantages over self-built databases, such as high availability, automatic backup, and easy O&M. One of the statements that is wrong when comparing RDS with self-built database is that self-built database supports quick deployment and elastic scaling. This is not true, because self-built database requires users to purchase, install, and configure hardware and software by themselves, which can be time-consuming and complex. Moreover, self-built database cannot easily adjust the computing and storage resources according to the business needs, which can lead to over-provisioning or under-provisioning. RDS, on the other hand, supports quick deployment and elastic scaling, because users can create, modify, or delete RDS instances in minutes through the console or API. Users can also scale up or down the RDS instance specifications, storage capacity, or network bandwidth without affecting the business continuity.

Alibaba Cloud does not support intranet communication between products that are not in the same region, which means that ECS instances in different regions cannot communicate with each other on the intranet, and ECS instances and other products in different regions, such as ApsaraDB for RDS and OSS instances, cannot communicate with each other on the intranet. However, this does not mean that Server Load Balancer cannot be deployed for ECS instances in various regions. Server Load Balancer is a service that distributes traffic among multiple ECS instances according to the configured forwarding rules. It can be used to balance the load and improve the service availability and fault tolerance of applications. Server Load Balancer supports cross-region deployment, which means that it can distribute traffic to ECS instances in different regions12. References: 1: ACA Cloud Computing Exam Preparation Course - Alibaba Cloud3 2: Server Load Balancer - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center4

A large shopping mall deploys a new video surveillance system. The five-floor building in which the mall is located installed 35 HD cameras to monitor the major exits. The surveillance system is deployed on an ECS instance, which has four 2 TB data disks to store video data.

However, video data grows rapidly and the engineers find that the ECS will run out of storage space within 2 weeks.

In this case, OSS is thought to be the best solution for addressing the storage challenge while ensuring quick access to historical video data when needed. OSS is a cloud-based object storage service that provides massive, secure, low-cost, and highly reliable storage for unstructured data such as images, videos, and documents. OSS can store any amount of data and scale up or down on demand. OSS also supports direct video stream storage capabilities, removing the need for a video segmentation cluster. OSS can be accessed through RESTful APIs, SDKs, or web consoles, and can be integrated with other Alibaba Cloud services such as CDN, ECS, and SLB. OSS provides various storage classes for different data storage scenarios, from hot data storage to cold data storage. For video surveillance data, the Infrequent Access (IA) or Archive storage classes can be used to reduce the storage cost while maintaining high data durability and availability123. References: 1: Alibaba Cloud Multimedia Solutions | Video Monitoring & Surveillance1 2: Overview - Object Storage Service - Alibaba Cloud2 3: OSS Concepts - Alibaba Object Storage Service Course - Cloud Academy
